Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom.
#Kurdistans_Freedom #kurdistans_refrendum
Kurds are world’s largest stateless minority around the globe.
They are victims of Europe’s imperialist policies after World War 2.
They maintain presence in the border provinces of Iran, Iraq, Syria and turkey and Armenia.
And were prosecuted harshly in all these countries.
However, the rise of ISIS and chaos in the Middle East made them virtually important for world powers.
They defended their territories in Iraq and Syria and maintained order.
And carved their autonomous region called Kurdistan in Iraq.
The Recent referendum in Kurdistan overwhelmingly supported independence from Iraq.
However, eyebrows were raised by other major players in the region as Kurds in their countries would soon demand independence.
And things could soon turn violent.
Will the Middle East witness another bloodbath?
Or Kurds will finally achieve their dreams?

A Kurdish reporter has been filmed attempting to confront men purported to be members of the Islamic State, who he says took over the area on the other side of a bridge near Kirkuk. TV correspondent Hunar Ahmad can be seen walking out into the middle of a bridge and asking the jihadists if they want to talk. The ISIS militants hold territory on the far side of the structure while Kurdish Peshmerga forces control the near side. Ahmad holds his microphone up on one hand and raises his other to show he is not armed as he approaches the militants. Infamous black and white flags of IS are seen fluttering in the wind as a heavy earthmoving loader dumps soil across the roadway, to prevent an attack. Rudaw is a Kurdish-language media outlet for speakers of the two dialects - Sorani and Kurmanji - in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Report by Claire Lomas.

Supreme Court of Chile

The Supreme Court of Chile is the highest court in Chile. It also administrates the lower courts in the nation. It is located in the capital Santiago.

In the Chilean system, the court lacks the broader power of judicial review — it cannot set binding precedent or invalidate laws. Instead, it acts on a case-by-case basis. Trials are carried out in salas, chambers of at least five judges, presided over by the most senior member.

Membership

The members of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President, but must be chosen from a list of five choices which is prepared by the sitting members of the court. Two of these choices must be senior judges from appellate courts; the other three need not have any judicial experience. The president's choice must then be ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.

Supreme Court justices must be at least 36 years old. Once appointed, a Chilean Supreme Court justice is extremely difficult to remove from office. Justices are entitled to remain on the Court until the compulsory retirement age of 75. Otherwise, a justice can be removed only if he or she incurs in "notorious abandonment of duty", as deemed by a majority of both chambers of Congress.

Supreme Court (Hong Kong)

The Supreme Court of Hong Kong (Chinese:香港最高法院) was the highest court in Hong Kong prior to the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China in 1997 and heard cases of first instance and appeals from the District and Magisrates Courts as well as certain tribunals. The Supreme Court was made up of the High Court of Justice (High Court) and the Court of Appeal.

On 1 July 1997, the Supreme Court became the High Court which is made up of the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal.

History

The Supreme Court was established in 1844 after Hong Kong became a British Crown colony under the Treaty of Nanjing. The first sitting of the court was on 1 October 1844 presided over by the first Chief Justice, John Walter Hulme.

For almost 70 years after establishment of the court, there was no Court of Appeal in Hong Kong. Appeals were either by way or re-hearing or direct to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. From 1913, appeals were heard by a Full Court made up of 3 judges. From 1913 to 1943, a judge of the British Supreme Court for China in Shanghai was eligible to sit on the Full Court. In the 1910s and 1920s, a Shanghai judge would regularly travel to Hong Kong to sit on the Full Court. Sir Havilland de Sausmarez, a judge of the Shanghai court, was the President of the Full Court from 1910 to 1920. From 1926 to 1941, a judge of the Hong Kong Supreme Court also sat on the full court of the British Supreme Court for China.

It is a sister channel of the U.S.-based English-language channel Al Jazeera America (AJAM), the Bosnia and Herzegovina-based multi-language Al Jazeera Balkans, and the original, Arabic-language, Al Jazeera (sometimes referred to as Al Jazeera Arabic). The station broadcasts news features and analysis, documentaries, live debates, current affairs, business, technology, and sports, and claims to be the first global high-definition television network.
Al Jazeera English is the world's first English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East. The channel aims to provide both a regional voice and a global perspective for a potential world audience of over one billion English speakers who do not share the Anglo-American worldview.

Instead of being run under one central command, news management rotates between broadcasting centers in Doha and London. At its launch, the station actually had four news centres in the world, in: Washington, D.C., London, Doha, and Kuala Lumpur. Complete news bulletins from Kuala Lumpur stopped on 30 September 2010 and from Washington DC on 28 January 2011; they were replaced by news from Doha. All news inserts from Kuala Lumpur ceased in early 2011 and from Washington DC they ceased on 15 April 2012. By contrast, Al Jazeera English is one of the few global media outlets to maintain an agency in Gaza, and in Harare.

The Middle East in London

The Middle East in London is a magazine which covers news, business and culture in the Arab world.

History and profile

The Middle East in London was started in 1974. The magazine is part of the London Middle East Institute and is published by the Institute on a bi-monthly basis. The London Middle East Institute is affiliated to SOAS. The magazine was formerly published monthly and changed the frequency to bi-monthly in January 2011.

Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom | Kurdistan's referendum

Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom.
#Kurdistans_Freedom #kurdistans_refrendum
Kurds are world’s largest stateless minority around the globe.
They are victims of Europe’s imperialist policies after World War 2.
They maintain presence in the border provinces of Iran, Iraq, Syria and turkey and Armenia.
And were prosecuted harshly in all these countries.
However, the rise of ISIS and chaos in the Middle East made them virtually important for world powers.
They defended their territories in Iraq and Syria and maintained order.
And carved their autonomous region called Kurdistan in Iraq.
The Recent referendum in Kurdistan overwhelmingly supported independence from Iraq.
However, eyebrows were raised by other major players in the region as Kurds in their countries would soon demand independence.
And things could soon turn violent.
Will the Middle East witness another bloodbath?
Or Kurds will finally achieve their dreams?

A Kurdish reporter has been filmed attempting to confront men purported to be members of the Islamic State, who he says took over the area on the other side of a bridge near Kirkuk. TV correspondent Hunar Ahmad can be seen walking out into the middle of a bridge and asking the jihadists if they want to talk. The ISIS militants hold territory on the far side of the structure while Kurdish Peshmerga forces control the near side. Ahmad holds his microphone up on one hand and raises his other to show he is not armed as he approaches the militants. Infamous black and white flags of IS are seen fluttering in the wind as a heavy earthmoving loader dumps soil across the roadway, to prevent an attack. Rudaw is a Kurdish-language media outlet for speakers of the two dialects - Sorani and Kurmanji - in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Report by Claire Lomas.

Kurdish Autonomy In Syria

Kurdish-controlled autonomous areas in northern Syria are expected to declare a federal system. The conference to declare the federation of three Western Kurdistan enclaves will be in Rmelan.
Syrian Kurds effectively control a stretch of 400 kilometers (250 miles) along the Syria-Turkey border, from the frontier with Iraq to the Euphrates River. They also control a section of the northwestern border in the Afrin area.
The areas will reportedly be named the Federation of Northern Syria and represent all ethnic groups living there, Idris Nassan, an official in the foreign affairs directorate of Kobani – one of three autonomous areas set up by Kurdish groups two years ago.

Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom.
#Kurdistans_Freedom #kurdistans_refrendum
Kurds are world’s largest stateless minority around the globe.
They are victims of Europe’s imperialist policies after World War 2.
They maintain presence in the border provinces of Iran, Iraq, Syria and turkey and Armenia.
And were prosecuted harshly in all these countries.
However, the rise of ISIS and chaos in the Middle East made them virtually important for world powers.
They defended their territories in Iraq and Syria and maintained order.
And carved their autonomous region called Kurdistan in Iraq.
The Recent referendum in Kurdistan overwhelmingly supported independence from Iraq.
However, eyebrows were raised by other major players in the region as Kurds in their countries would soon demand independence.
And things could soon turn violent.
Will the Middle East witness another bloodbath?
Or Kurds will finally achieve their dreams?

The number of people fleeing the conflict in Syria continues to rise. Iraq's central government has closed its borders to most refugees but the Kurdish region has welcomed 90 percent of those seeking shelter in the country - almost all of them Syrian Kurds. Al Jazeera'sJane Arraf reports, that living in Iraq has rekindled the refugees' nationalist spirit.

A Kurdish reporter has been filmed attempting to confront men purported to be members of the Islamic State, who he says took over the area on the other side of a bridge near Kirkuk. TV correspondent Hunar Ahmad can be seen walking out into the middle of a bridge and asking the jihadists if they want to talk. The ISIS militants hold territory on the far side of the structure while Kurdish Peshmerga forces control the near side. Ahmad holds his microphone up on one hand and raises his other to show he is not armed as he approaches the militants. Infamous black and white flags of IS are seen fluttering in the wind as a heavy earthmoving loader dumps soil across the roadway, to prevent an attack. Rudaw is a Kurdish-language media outlet for speakers of the two dialects - Sorani and Kurmanji - in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Report by Claire Lomas.

Kurdish-controlled autonomous areas in northern Syria are expected to declare a federal system. The conference to declare the federation of three Western Kurdistan enclaves will be in Rmelan.
Syrian Kurds effectively control a stretch of 400 kilometers (250 miles) along the Syria-Turkey border, from the frontier with Iraq to the Euphrates River. They also control a section of the northwestern border in the Afrin area.
The areas will reportedly be named the Federation of Northern Syria and represent all ethnic groups living there, Idris Nassan, an official in the foreign affairs directorate of Kobani – one of three autonomous areas set up by Kurdish groups two years ago.

Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom | Kurdistan's referendum

Kurdistan is on a brink of Freedom.
#Kurdistans_Freedom #kurdistans_refrendum
Kurds are world’s largest stateless minority around the globe.
They are victims of Europe’s imperialist policies after World War 2.
They maintain presence in the border provinces of Iran, Iraq, Syria and turkey and Armenia.
And were prosecuted harshly in all these countries.
However, the rise of ISIS and chaos in the Middle East made them virtually important for world powers.
They defended their territories in Iraq and Syria and maintained order.
And carved their autonomous region called Kurdistan in Iraq.
The Recent referendum in Kurdistan overwhelmingly supported independence from Iraq.
However, eyebrows were raised by other major players in the region as Kurds in their countries would soon demand independence.
And things could soon turn violent.
Will the Middle East witness another bloodbath?
Or Kurds will finally achieve their dreams?

The number of people fleeing the conflict in Syria continues to rise. Iraq's central government has closed its borders to most refugees but the Kurdish region has welcomed 90 percent of those seeking shelter in the country - almost all of them Syrian Kurds. Al Jazeera'sJane Arraf reports, that living in Iraq has rekindled the refugees' nationalist spirit.

Kurdish reporter talks to ISIS militants

Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs
A Kurdish reporter has been filmed attempting to confront men purported to be members of the Islamic State, who he says took over the area on the other side of a bridge near Kirkuk. TV correspondent Hunar Ahmad can be seen walking out into the middle of a bridge and asking the jihadists if they want to talk. The ISIS militants hold territory on the far side of the structure while Kurdish Peshmerga forces control the near side. Ahmad holds his microphone up on one hand and raises his other to show he is not armed as he approaches the militants. Infamous black and white flags of IS are seen fluttering in the wind as a heavy earthmoving loader dumps soil across the roadway, to prevent an attack. Rudaw is a Kurdish-language media outlet for speakers of the two dialects - Sorani and Kurmanji - in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Report by Claire Lomas.
